There Was no uOuu. = govd reason for
the practice Of the Hebrews to read and to
write from right to left. We have often

while we could not learn any thing very
tangible IN regard to it, we are quite con-

Is much clearer and stronger than it is
from left to right Naturally, so we are
informed, there is no difference in nerves
or in the optic arrangement Of the human
eye between the right or the left eye, yet
our own inquiries and observations show
clearly that we are all, or most all. dis |
